2026 Fall Conference

As educators, it’s easy to assume that what happens in our classrooms is what happens everywhere-—but we know that powerful teaching goes far beyond our own four walls. When language educators open their classroom doors, share their best practices, and learn from one another, inspiration grows-—and our future generations benefit the most from this collaboration.

We invite you to be part of this shared journey at the FLANC Fall 2026 Conference, taking place October 3-–4, 2026, at the Benton Convention Center in the heart of Winston-Salem, NC.

✨ 2026 is a milestone year for FLANC!
We are proud to celebrate 60 years of collaborative learning-—six decades of elevating culture through language acquisition and shaping future generations of global citizens.

Conference Theme:
“Languages as Our Light, Culture as Our Compass.”

As you prepare your proposal, reflect on these guiding questions:

• What difference are you making as a language educator?

• How do you serve as a lighthouse for increasing cultural awareness?

• How do you help students navigate their path toward success?

📣 Call for Proposals opens January 12, 2026.
Your voice, your experience, and your expertise can light the way for others.
